The 2017 Canadian Silver Bison Coin is the image of the wood bison, which is more numerous throughout Canada than the American plains bison. The bison is captured on the open plains of Canada in left-profile relief, with its massive figure dominating the coin’s design field. You’ll notice grasslands under its feet and clouds rolling across the sky above.
